Abstract

According to the guidelines of institutions and organizations that regulate foreign language instruction, one of the challenges of today's teaching presents the development of strategic competence as a way to encourage the student's autonomy. However, in spite of a wide range of literature on the nature of learning and communication strategies and their possible advantages, these studies do not take didactic requirements into account. At the same time, conclusions of research on strategic training in class are difficult to transfer from the original teaching model to another learning context. This implies the necessity of adapting them to specific situations of formal learning in which these strategies are to be practiced. Thus, it is essential to establish a series of guidelines which serve as an orientation for the teacher in integrating the strategic component into the foreign language syllabus without neglecting other linguistic competences and transforming it into the main focus of the curriculum. This article aims to advance in such direction.
